Tom Hyde- Sculptor
The process of working out how a drawing or idea could be made, what it could be made from and the use of tools to create it, is key to the workshops I run in schools.The joy of making a sculpture from found objects, wood, metal and other materials, continues to challenge and inspire me.
I have been working in schools for about 5 years. Projects include driftwood and green wood sculptures and inventions including water and wind sculptures.
I have a sculpture degree, have been CRB checked since 2003, have public liability insurance to run art workshops and hold a current forest school outdoor first aid qualification.
I have attended a British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) art therapy foundation course in London. I also teach art to adults at Petroc College in Barnstaple and am currently teaching art to adults with mental illness.
Commissions include furniture for the National Trust, work with museums, storytelling chairs, and wood/metal sculptures
